About this episode
Alistair Begg discusses Nehemiah's leadership and reliance on God in the face of challenges.
After learning of the sorry state of Jerusalem's walls, Nehemiah responded with prayerful dependence, careful preparation, and quiet assessment before calling others to act. As Alistair Begg points out, his leadership combined trust in God's sovereignty with practical wisdom and courage in the face of opposition. Through Nehemiah's example, we're reminded that God's work advances through ordinary people who rely on Him, persevere through discouragement, and unite around a shared, God-given purpose.
